  • It started with “we have no idea how they did it”. Then over time it morphed into “we have several hypotheses but don’t know if it any of those is realistic”. The current state of things is still there regarding the construction technique itself.

    In the meantime the village where construction workers lived has been found. Now we know the profile or people who built the pyramids, how they lived and what they ate. Even some details about work organization.

    All of this still didn’t propagate into the popular culture which is still stuck in the 1980s regarding pyramid knowledge.

















  • Complaining about “songs getting dumber” is a story as old as recorded music. We tend to remember music positively if it’s important to our personality formation. Usually the music from our youth, although big jumps are possible later in life.
    It’s not that new artists are worse or better than the old ones, you just don’t have an emotional connection to newer music.

    That being said I do dislike some trends in 2020s music - melancholic mood and more focus on introspective texts. And all of reggaeton subculture. Contrary to your point I think there’s more focus on lyrics now than in 2010s.
